The Venezuelan president affirmed that “if we continue at this self-destructive pace, in 30 or 40 years this planet will be uninhabitable”.

Cairo, November 8 (RHC)– The president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, urged this Tuesday during his speech at the COP27 summit on climate change being held in Egypt, to change the consumerist model in a way that stops the destruction of the Amazon and preserves life on the planet.
Speaking at the High Level Segment of the 27th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP27), the Venezuelan head of state began his speech at the conclave by warning that “the climate crisis is an unavoidable reality that can only be confronted with concrete, urgent and immediate actions.”
“…Though Venezuela produces a great deal of oil, 70 percent of the country’s energy is hydroelectric. Venezuela invests $500 million per year into alternative energy. Already, the Bolivarian government has replaced 155 million inefficient light bulbs with newly developed eco-friendly ones. A program to replace other household appliances with more eco-friendly ones is in the works.A total of 58 million hectares of forest in Venezuela are protected, and a mass program of reforestation is being carried out.…”
In this sense, the president pointed out that “the dimension of this crisis does not take us by surprise. Since the beginning of the environmental diplomacy, we had sufficient data to declare an early emergency and act accordingly”.
In turn, Maduro emphasized that “every hour, every month, every year of inaction, of hesitation, of indolence, translates today into destroyed ecosystems, extinct species and the deterioration of the planet’s living conditions.”

The most current projections say that if we continue at this self-destructive pace, in 30 or 40 years this planet will be uninhabitable.”
